This two course sequence is exclusively based on Structured ProgramingMethodology (SPM). The pedagogical underpinning for these courses is in strict adherence to theStructured Programing model, and is based on the interdependence among problem solving,cognition, and program (software design) development [1].Presented is a learning model that these courses adhere to for the purpose of Problem Solvingboth in general and specific to Engineering and Technology. Cognitive skills are developed,honed, and enforced by practicing the SPM. The model aptly taps

Respectively, theSCCT framework is divided into four compartmentalized yet interrelated models includinginterest, choice, performance (Lent, et al., 1994), and satisfaction (Lent, 2013).

If the assignments are ungraded or lightly graded, students can be encouraged totake risks in problem solving, especially if feedback is specific, frequent, and immediate. Suchrisk-taking and feedback may promote student self-assessment and support students to takecontrol of their learning according to their individual goals for the course.

However, traditional global programs (e.g., studyabroad) present challenges for engineering students who often have to fit such experienceswithin a highly structured curricular schedule. Further, study abroad can be a financial burden formany students who are already paying significant amounts to attend college [3], [4]. One type ofglobal engineering program that has the potential to address these challenges are internationalresearch experiences, which typically take place during the summer and provide students with asalary.

representation of the problem. For simple problems with few forces/moments astudent may be able to write down the equations with ease. However, as the number of forcesincreases the cognitive load [1] on the student increases making it difficult to setup the equationsdirectly from the problem description. To help remedy this, an intermediate step (or additionalrepresentation) is often taken where a free body diagram (FBD) is drawn showing the forcesand/or moments which act on a body. Literature has suggested that the use of multiplerepresentations helps develop problem solving skills for students [2,3].

meaning.IntroductionEngineering education research has historically paid much heed to student engagement [1]–[3].Despite continued reinforcement as a classroom best practice [4], [5], there are a lack of tools tomeasure student engagement. One potential reason for a lack of tools is a lack of consensusamong researchers regarding the meaning of engagement. Fredricks, Blumfeld, and Parissynthesized much of the existing research on engagement in 2004, developing a three-part modelof understanding student engagement [6]. Students are said to engage behaviorally, cognitively,and emotionally; by understanding all three modes of engagement, a comprehensive picture canbe generated of how students are engaged [6]. While an educator may be able to observe thebehavior and even

Obtaining energy from biomass is through a system known as a photobioreactor(PBR). There has been considerable interest in PBRs. This is due to algae’s high rate of growthwith the production of lipids, which can be easily processed into bio-fuel [1]. The availability ofsunlight limits productivity, so it is important to use it efficiently. During the summer season andin locations that gain more solar exposure

One of the things that is missing from all of these tools is the capability toassess the student’s communication of their thought process as they progress through a problem.Most problems in these systems provide step-by-step guidance where students are asked to “fill-in-the-blanks” with their answers.
